The world number one is still the overwhelming favorite to pick up his 11th French Open title, but former victor Mats Wilander thinks Juan Martin del Potro, Nadal's semi-final opponent could cause him some troubles.

Nadal dominated the Argentine in three sets, beating him 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 in the clay court bout.

"With Nadal, you need to play at the top level, I would say, minimum, three hours, otherwise don't even think about having a chance to win", said Bresnik.

"I am very happy to be in another Roland Garros final, it is the most important tournament of my career". For me it's incredible.

However, the 32-year-old, who has won 16 Grand Slam titles, including 10 on the famous red clay, showed no signs of weakness when play resumed on Court Philippe Chatrier as he grabbed 12 of the first 13 points to lead by a break after he capped the second set.

Nadal is looking to win his 11th French Open, whereas Thiem is aiming for his first Grand Slam title. "And I will try just to be calm during the match and try everything I can".

Thiem has beaten Nadal on clay in each of the past two seasons, including just a few weeks ago on clay in Madrid, so that will certainly boost his confidence.

Brett: I don't know if Rafael Nadal would've lost to Diego Schwartzman if there wasn't the delay, but the delay certainly didn't hurt the ten-time Roland Garros champion.

His only defeats in the tournament came in the 2009 fourth round against Robin Soderling and in the 2015 quarter-finals against Novak Djokovic.

"The big key was the second-set tiebreak because it was very close and I saved I think three set points", Thiem said after the match.

There was a sense of inevitability in the air when Del Potro served at 4-5 and sure enough Nadal turned the screws to grab two set points at 15-40. Del Potro had forced six break points during the first set, but the Spaniard fended each one off.

Young pretender - and perhaps heir to the throne - Dominic Thiem has been dubbed the Prince of Clay and he will get a shot at the undisputed ruler of the Parisian land for more than a decade.

Nadal has won every final he has contested at Roland-Garros, so it looks like there will only be one outcome when the pair meet on Sunday.

Two women who have won the title at Roland Garros , Maria Sharapova and Garbine Muguruza, play each other in the quarterfinals. Twice the runner-up in Paris , Halep has qualified for the final by defeating 2016 champion Garbine Muguruza 6-1, 6-4.
